Both the series and the studio kinda lost their way eventually, but for a while there, Bugbear's FlatOut—which combined ugly racing with brutal damage—was the most interesting thing in racing games. So it's nice to see them returning to their roots.

With what, exactly, I have no idea, this is just a teaser trailer, but it's got shitty old cars in it, and they're crashing into each other like nobody's business, so if it's not a FlatOut reboot it must be pretty close.

Update5- Cars get less stuck in other cars.- Roll of certain classes have been tweaked.- The default settings of Classic cars have been switched with the new settings. (eg: standard setting is now the chaos&destruction setting)- Smashing destructable objects now will earn you boost and supermove, but are currently due to work on multiplayer functional in singleplayer only.- Speed game mode now has the same functionality / game logic as race mode.- "Classic Mode" now renamed to "Game Speed" because of reviewer setting the game to chaos&destruction meanwhile complaining game is way too fast.

Update7- Player can now bash it's way easier through opponents.- Balanced / tweaks for damage system.- Tweaks and feature improvements for the A.I.- Reduced default startgrid count for race and challenge mode.
